The Gailes, Oscoda

Second day at Lakewood Shores...we had breakfast at the resort. They only had a $9 (and some change) buffet available. It was OK. We then headed to The Gailes, as authentic a scottish golf course as you'll see in the states, I think. I don't normally like links style courses but this one was a lot of fun. I found it very challenging though one of the guys we were with didn't find it so. There were many bunkers, of all shapes & sizes, with wooden sides, sand bunkers, grass bunkers, bunkers to the left, right and straight in front of you. The fairway would look smooth but there was always a bunker hidden. And lots of little creeks were also hidden from view. It threatened rain most of the day which made it look more like Scotland. The bathroom on the course was shaped like a little brick building like you'd see in Scotland. The cart girl again had to go back to the clubhouse to get bloody marys but again they were very good. Fairways in good shape (aside from the many, many bunkers) and the greens were pretty good but again, very challenging with lots of rolls. Would like to play this course again!
